Post production is a meeting of three equal parts: creativity, technology and service. Well, our goal is simple... to provide superlative service, in a friendly manner, using the latest technology, to create at the finest quality, for less than expected... and have a little fun doing it.

At CLAi we “do” High Definition and Standard Definition post - editing, conforming, correction and finishing. We run two “ultimate” Final Cut Studio/Kona3 High Definition systems (including the outstanding Synthetic Aperture secondary color correction software) and an Avid High Definition system for the best in uncompressed editing on corporate and broadcast productions with every bell and quite a few whistles. We can work with DVCProHD and Sony HDCam across all codecs, DVCPro50, DigiBeta, Betacam SP, DVCam/Pro, DV and even MiniDV sourcing and mastering in NTSC and PAL. Add in audio design work on Logic Pro, a library of SFX and music tracks, a farm of voiceover talent and some heavy duty compositing systems and we have too many toys to play with - but can do most anything!
